Went to a reseller type store today. Place is open a few hours each weekend. Anyway, saw a few things I really liked:

The Jones car from the Temple of Doom chase set. Dunno if I $60 like it, but it's a cool car.
The Lone Ranger Stagecoach is pretty awesome.
And I just got the Alien Mothership on ebay for a pretty decent price.

I'm so addicted to these stupid things right now.

I would have loved the Modulars when I was 9. Actually, when I was 9 I loved the Galaxy Explorer.

But seriously, back at that age, I loved big complex building projects. 5000 piece puzzles. Then I started playing sports.

The nexo sets aren't great but the part selection is excellent, one of the best color schemes lego has done in years. So do what I do, buy the sets on clearance for Mocs.

The tank castle hybrid is amazing and I will not hear otherwise.

That's actually a cool idea, I'll consider it even though it might make the shelf sort of specific.

There's actually still one more shelf to add in that picture at the top.

The rocket would only fit vertically on the bottom 3 shelves, not enough ceiling space on the top 2

I first started out wanting to make an assembly crane for my Saturn V. Initial testing with the crawler crane I bought showed that I could barely get it to lift the S-II stage. I don't know if I'd be able to build one able to lift the S-IC. So it might morph into just being a launch tower. I have a bunch of red lift arms from the grand prix racer, so I could build those outside the current central section. I also have the tracked bottom of the crawler crane that I might integrate into it, but that thing barely moves with just the crawler crane. I'd have to do a wicked gear reduction.

This is what it would look like, roughly. 110mm diameter (gives about 5mm clearance)

I was looking to build a launch tower and found a guy on flickr who designed an amazing one, but at 4k parts it would triple the price of the rocket. Hopefully yours ends up cheaper... Keep us posted.

Dont give Lego the idea to inflate piece count, thats the last thing we need. As an aside what is everyone using for working out their MOCs?

edit: Also someone in china is producing sets of this https://ideas.lego.com/projects/c7e47c3b-867d-47d1-a5ac-a3d29a0530dc

Just snagged a Saturn from Amazon using Now In Stock. I had added one earlier but it went sold out before I could complete checkout. Crazy how quick these things go.

Also holy gently caress that bus. Most of this year has been a pass for most sets, but the back half of this year is getting expensive between the rocket, bus, fishing store and the Ninjago D2C.

Every so often I will browse sets on brickset. I just found the Wright Plane and the Red Baron. Man...I missed out.

And that Lamborghini is pretty sweet. Also a couple of the adventurers cars are pretty cool.

What sets have you discovered that were pretty awesome?

And check this out:



You posted about planes and the Pharaoh's Quest set and didn't bring up this one? I got it on clearance from Walmart forever ago and loved it. Are there any other sets where they use those machine gun pieces? poo poo I should set it up again with the Scooby Doo Museum one, make a big old tomb robbing, mummy attacking diorama.

The Vespa is one of the, relatively speaking, best Lego designs i have ever seen. Even knowing it is Lego and seeing it up close it is difficult to see it is Lego.

I have the 3368 Space Center that I am currently looking at offloading if you are interested in starting your space/astronaut addition going on.

I also have a bunch of Galaxy Squad stuff to get rid off, I really need to free up room for the Assembly Square and the Saturn V.

On the plus side I manage to offload a box of 6 Star War sets for $250 on Craigslist the other day, met up with another man child that took one look at the box, didn't even negotiate and paid what I was asking for.

This is the store that sells their stuff (including the vespa) and other MOCs if you don't mind non official Lego.
